Biography

Health Problems

Andrea Neumannova was born and raised in Bratislava, the capital city of Slovakia. Growing up, Andrea wasn’t the athletic type, and she never had an interest in sports.

At the age of 6, she was diagnosed with an “extremely weak immune system“ and vitamin deficiency. By the time she turned 9, Andrea’s intestines ruptured. Andrea was immediately rushed to hospital to undergo surgery.

Because of the traumatic experiences she had to go through at an early age, Andrea’s mental health also suffered.

She spent over 6 years in hospital, and at the age of 16, she fully recovered. After she was released from hospital, Andrea weighed only 36 kilograms. The doctors advised her that she needed to exercise and watch her diet in order to become healthy again.

Gym Discovery

As the years went by, Andrea’s physical health slowly improved. However, he mental health still suffered. She said she wasn’t happy with her life because of the bad habits and relationships she had with people at the time. She knew she needed a way to get herself “out of the negativity.“

It was at this point when Andrea decided to start going to the gym, as a way to release her energy.

At first, she only did cardio and basic body-weight exercises. But, after a few weeks, Andrea became confident in her abilities and decided to give weightlifting a try.

This is what Andrea said after spending some time lifting heavier weights; “The feeling was really new for me and it was amazing. I made something for myself and my body. I felt better and better each day, and I eventually became addicted to that feeling.” – Andrea Neumannova

Competition Days

With a new approach to her training regimen, it didn’t take Andrea long to build a great figure. Her potential and hard work were noticed by Gabriel Toth. A former athlete who approached her in the gym and suggested she should compete.

After thinking it over, Andrea decided to give it a go. She researched more about competing, and started preparing for an upcoming local show in Bratislava.

With the help of one of her experienced friends, Andrea brought her best version to the stage and won her first show.

Needless to say, Andrea was thrilled by her early success and was “super-inspired” to continue working hard. From this point, she eventually went on to win more prestigious shows.

Success in her Fitness Career

Andrea continued competing in local shows, where she saw great results. However, during that time, she had financial problems. Andrea had to find a way to sustain her diet and training regimen if she wanted to succeed in the fitness industry.

She was soon approached by a company who offered her a sponsorship deal. This is when Andrea could finally focus on her competitions and training once again.

Winning Her Pro Card

Over the course of several years, Andrea achieved impressive results in both local and regional competitions. Eventually, after many years of hard work, she stepped on stage at the 2012 Slovakian National Bikini competition, and took took home 1st place. This is where she earned her Pro card.

After 2 years of constant competing, Andrea took part at the 2014 Adria Cup in Croatia, winning the show.

This is where she decided to take a longer break from the stage. With her inspirational story and great achievements, Andrea cemented her place as one of the best bikini bodybuilders to come from Slovakia.

Training

Andrea’s Favorite Exercises

Andrea’s favorite body parts to train are her back and shoulders. Her top exercises are wide grip pull-downs, incline dumbbell press for the chest, back extensions, and narrow grip barbell rows.

Andrea says that her arms are her least favorite body part to train.

Her shoulders are her most lacking body part, and that’s one of the reasons why Andrea likes to train them 2-3 times per week.

Losing Weight

When preparing for a competition, Andrea will usually do a lot of High-Intensity Interval Training during the week.

On Saturdays and Sundays, she does steady state cardio, which according to her, can be either running outside or on a treadmill.

Nutrition

Keto Diet

Andrea has been practicing the keto diet for over 3 years, and she says she’s impressed with the results. She says that carb cycling doesn’t tend to work for her, and says how increasing fat and protein intake while minimizing carbohydrates, yields her best outcomes.

During her preparations for a competition, Andrea usually eats between 400-600g of boneless chicken breasts a day. Along with 150 grams of healthy fats, which Andrea says, “is essential” for her health and muscle retention.

Supplementation

Andrea isn’t a “huge fan” of supplements because she says they tend to cause a rash on her face whenever she takes them. Andrea says one of the reasons for that, are traces of nuts that most of the supplements contain, which is why she avoids using them altogether.
